Derbyshire / LD&ECR Norwood Railway Crossing resident
« on: Monday 29 May 17 15:00 BST (UK)  »
I know this is a long shot!......but i am currently researching the former crossing house on the LD&ECR's Beighton Branch, which has now closed, not to be confused with the current crossing that is still there 100 yds along the road over the Robin Hood Line.

The building seems to have been known as The Gatehouse and Norwood Cottage

I am trying to find out who was the very first crossing attendant to have worked in the house, the line opened to traffic in 1896 so this should be on the 1901 and 1911 census, but i dont know how to find the entry from the little information i have!

As i said it was called The Gatehouse or Norwood Cottage it seems, although Whaley Crossing has also been found as a name for the crossing itself, the road i believe to be called Mag Lane but again, the current residents tell me some mail arrives addressed to Norwood Lane!..

can anyone give me any pointers on how i might be able to find this property on the 1901 and 1911 censusses plz? 

the property i am trying to find the resident of is the left hand one on the map highlighted in blue. the right hand side one is Norwood Sidings. thanks!!
